MASON!!!!!!!(SPOILERS)

NO!!!!! I just finished frost bite. WHY HE WAS SOOO CUTE!!!! I CANT BELIEVE HE DIED!!!!! I STARTED CRYING THEN I GOT HAPPY WHEN DAMETRI CAME TO THE RESCUE STILL I CANT BELIEVE IT! THEN AT THE ENDED... PHEW I NEEDED SOME WATER CUZ THAT WAS HAWT PART LOL THERE GOING TO BE A CHANGE BETWEEN THE 2 OF THEM I CAN FEEL IT! THERE GOING TO BE ALOT OF KISSES AM I RIGHT? LOL NVM DONT TELL ME!

Easy does it with the all-caps!

I AM JUST SO UPSET!!!!

Call me heartless, but I wasn't too attached to Mason. He reminded me in a way like Jacob from Twilight. He was a bit on the puppy dog side. Rose was too mature for him. That's why she's a better match with Dimitri.

Yeah i agree... but Mason... i mean u love him thats just... idk you love him he was her bestfriend..... trust me i am all for dimetri...

I didn't even get a best friend vibe off him either. Mason was totally Rose's back up choice. She turned to Mason because she was pissed off at Dimitri for going with Tasha. Rose's dalliance with Mason was a revenge thing. A "make Dimka jealous" thing. Sure, Rose and Mason were friends. But like I said, I didn't feel a big bonding between them.

You have a not unattractive boy who is your double in personality and he happens to adore you. What girl wouldn't give it a try especially if the one you want is out of reach? But Rose needed someone that close to her to die so that last bit of immaturity and recklessness to be beaten out of her.

Yeah but i still lik ehim.... I would love him as a friend.

Jedib, what you said makes a lot of sense. The loss of Mason is sorta like cutting the ties to 'childhood' or even 'novice-hood'.

yeah thats true

i was so sad i loved mason i would die if i lost my best guy friend. he came back partly in the 3rd and then went away all i could think in the 3rd book was the scence with mason.

That he hung out to help guide/warn Rose of the threat showed his feelings for Rose were strong.

Sure, Mason had strong feelings for Rose, but they weren't requited. Rose was in love with Dimitri and even if she tried to fill the void with Mason when Dimka went with Tasha...it was just that a way to fill the void.

I was sad when mason died
i cried
i understood why rosa liked him as a friends
they did have lot of the same quality's
He was so sweet and understanding but he did have a lil jealous side

I agree with everyone... he was just the most perfect person and then Richelle Mead had to kill him. I mean, why? I is so sad. I read the book and when I got to page 301 of Frostbite I just started crying and crying and crying.

I have no life : I have learnt to quote his death from "Unlike with me" till "Horror oand shock consumed me."

He is by far my fav character and I still cant accept his death (god I sound like a freak.. no wonder my mum said I should see a phycyatrist ((cant spell soz))

So yeah... if anyone wants to talk about Mason just message me

I thought Mason was adorable. I saw him more as a Mike Newton rather than a Jacob Black.. He was cute and fun. But, I wasn't attached to him. It just must have sucked for Rose because he died for her.. Because he REALLY liked her and she didn't like him like that.. But I think it was sad he died.. Just necessary. We have to give a little to get some in return.

Mason = Mike
Adrian = Jacob
Dmitri = Edward

Good comparison!

I was crying so hard when Mason died, I mean I like Dimitri and everything but Mason does remind me of Jacob in twilight but at least he didn't die =(...Mason was so sweet and I got pretty mad at Rose for not giving him a chance...I think he would have died better...Since Mason died I really don't want to keep reading but I'll just have to even If Mason is dead...I really liked him

Actually, reflecting more and having just recently re-read the series, jedib's comparisons make more sense. Especially in Twilight (the first book of the Twilight saga), Mike was WAY more puppy dog than Jacob. Jacob became more puppy-ish and possessive in NM and Eclipse. Adrian doesn't exactly come off as puppyish. I am not quite sure how to describe his approach to Rose. It may sound a bit silly, but Adrian kind of reminds me of Pepe Le Pew - that cartoon skunk with the French accent always after that cat who accidentally gets a white stripe painted down her back. Adrian's all about trying to woo Rose. Jacob wouldn't know from wooing if it were to slap him in the face. Adrian tries to woo Rose with that big box of perfumes, alcohol, dresses, parties, etc. But Jacob? He didn't try any of that...and other than teaching her how to ride the motorcycles, what did he ever do to woo or entice Bella?

In that sense, I disagree that Adrian = Jacob. But I totally agree that Mason = Mike Newton.

Wooing is based on the guy. Adrian's a rich guy so buying presents is his natural instinct...buy affection. Jacob has no money. So he wooed by fixing up the bikes, handcrafting the charm for her charm bracelet, making her laugh, etc.

When you woo, (and I only can guess since I'm not male), you try to do what would impress the girl but also make her like you. So each girl, and each guy, will result in variables that can't translate across the board.

Mike and Mason were the same b/c although good friends, they stood no chance.

Jacob and Adrian were the same b/c although the logical choice for a logical future, they stood no real chance. They were the alternatives that the girl needed to see and know she had a choice.

Edward and Dmitri were the same b/c although there was no logic to the choice as far as future children, white picket fence, etc., they still won out in the end.

I like your logic Jedi! And I'm glad everyone agrees! I just always thought he was a Mike Newton type. Fun loving guy and cute.

I forgot about the bracelet. But I didn't really see him making a serious effort. It felt more 'caveman like' with Jacob. I half expected him to just drop Bella to the ground and start dragging her by her hair.

I do understand what you're saying about wooing and that it won't be the same for everyone. Everyone's different, likes different things etc.

yeah I did not care for mason that much and I though the dude that was drugged up on vampire venom was going to die (sorry forgot his name) i loove DIMITRI )

You're thinking of Eddie.

I didn't particularly care for Mason. I mean, for Rose to actually give him a shot was actually to try and forget about Dimitri and that didn't even work. Rose was probably like throw me a bone and Mason was there.

He sort of pissed me off with the whole jealousy thing but come on... Rose is hot! of course guys would be all over her. I mean does love completely make you blind, deaf and dumb. He died and I felt nothing but they don't call me a heartless bitch for nothing I guess *thinks real hard* nope.. i am a bitch, proud and well... bitchy.

But Rose's reaction was freaking priceless. Damn, I would have loved to actually see someone do that in real life. (I am a sick and twisted person. Get with it. ) But seriously, how insane she must have looked. WOW!!

So Mason has served his purpose and moved on. THank god.

I'm out,
essa.
